Darlene and family

Ashley informed us right away of Ed´s passing. This news is received with sadness as well as a great encouragement as we know Ed is now home with our Lord and Savior!

I have fond memories of doing life together when we were in our Small Group in Valencia. Ed always had a kind word of encouragement for everyone. I will miss him. Terry and I pray for the Lord to comfort everyone in the family during this time of grief. May God give you a piece that only He can give.

Love you guys!
